Applicability and efficacy of ultrasound elastography in neurosurgery: a systematic review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review showed that, despite the lack of strong evidences, USE is a valid intraoperative tool, especially in oncological neurosurgery.PMID:36239425 | DOI:10.23736/S0390-5616.22.05866-0

Characterizing internet search patterns for neurologic and neurosurgical conditions following celebrity diagnosis
CONCLUSIONS: Following major events related to the neurological disease of public figures there is an expected rise in Google search interest relevant to these topics. Our findings suggest that there is an optimal window of approximately 2 weeks following each of these events for activist and clinical groups to publicize their desired message, and for the field of neurosurgery and neurological science to increase public awareness regarding specific diseases, with a regression to baseline interest by 4-months following the event.PMID:34763394 | DOI:10.23736/S0390-5616.21.05569-7

Current and future uses of transcranial focused ultrasound in neurosurgery.
Authors: Hersh DS, Eisenberg HM Abstract Focused ultrasound (FUS) produces a region of high intensity at the focal zone of the beam but with minimal effects at adjacent areas, allowing the sonication of deep targets throughout the body. Despite early obstacles to transmitting ultrasound energy through the skull, recent advances in ultrasound technology, software, and real-time monitoring have resulted in a renewed interest in the clinical applications of transcranial FUS. Following extensive pre- clinical studies, ultrasound-induced thermal ablation has been approved by several countries for the treatment of essent...
